Smart Plug 4 Pack, Refoss Smart WiFi Outlet Works with Apple HomeKit, Alexa, Google Assistant, Siri, Timer & APP Remote Control, 15A

Got this as a gift, but could never get HomeKit to connect. When trying to set up, the outlet acted like it connected (stopped flashing and turned green) but the home app never actually found the device on the network. Gave up and am looking for a better option.

Ive added 3 of these to HomeKit, only to have them disappear after a couple of days & then not being able to reset them and add them back. In other words, they are less than useless, having an outlet fail for no apparent reason is bad, luckily I was home so I could replace them with a more reputable brand.

Refoss comes from the same far east manufacture as Meross, but cheaper. I don’t know how well Meross works yet, but at this time, Refoss doesn’t work very well. At first, the setup was easy and quick, going through the Apple HomeKit app. But after a few days everything fell apart. I could not reconnect any of my Refoss devices to Apple HomeKit. Refoss/Meross’s own app worked fine during this time, and I could continue to use the devices through their app…but I don’t want to do that, I have enough home automation apps already and just tired of it all. If it doesn’t work well going through HomeKit, Alexa, and/or Google…then it goes right into the garbage, it’s just that easy for me right now. I’ve been in the automation business for a long time and you still get what you pay for. So you go cheap with Refoss, you get cheap service. After a few hours, all my Refoss items finally reconnected back to HomeKit and all was good….but just for a few more days. I also noticed a lot of bot reviews here, so I can’t trust much of them, I would keep that in mind. I hope this review helps somebody. At this time, I cannot recommend this brand to my family, friends, and all who read this review. Happy shopping!!

Loved this product wanted something that I could connect my Christmas lights too for my Apple HomePod. And this does just that. Exactly what I was looking for.

Setup of these smart plugs took a few attempts, and I had a pretty frustrating time trying to reset them to their factory settings. But after a slightly frustrating (but not impossible) setup process; all these plugs have been functioning as expected, and I have had few connection issues. Overall for the price these are a great value if you feel confident and patient enough to get them setup properly.

I bought these to use with the Apple Home Kit app on my phone. I do not have the Hub, so they only operate when Im at home, on the wifi. Setting them up was pretty simple; had one or two that didnt connect right away, but a 2nd attempt sorted that out. I like that I can turn them on/off from another floor and even from the garage so I dont have to walk into a dark house. Once in a while they will stop responding or show they have stopped but Ive only had once instance where a plug refused to respond. Decent functionality for the price, I am happy with these so far.

I really like these wifi smart plugs for many reasons. Pros: - Small form factor - Four plugs in a box - Someone finally used their brains and put the QR code where it can be scanned by your phone when plugged in! - Easy set up; mostly - Works with Apple Home Cons: The second plug I attempted to set up did give me some issues in the Apple Home App As you can see quite a few things I like about these plugs and not much to dislike. I love that they work with Apple HomeKit as that’s the only “smart home” type we use (No Alexa, etc). I know it seems like a small thing but the fact that they put the QR code on top of the plug is brilliant! I have quite a few smart plugs and bulbs and things around the house and they all need you to plug them in and then scan the QR code but you can’t do that if they put the code on the back of the device that sits against the wall! I have no idea why manufacturers do this but they didn’t do that here and I bless them for it! Another thing to note, I have smart light bulbs made by a company called Meross and this manufacturer is called Refoss… Very similar. So similar in fact that when I opened up my Meross app it found these plugs and added them to my app automatically. I think that one of the two names is a rebrand which is fine but just to make note of that. All that to say these plugs work just like they should with minimal fuss and the fact that you get 4 in a pack is great! I can definitely recommend these plugs to you! Hope this has been helpful, let me know if it has!

HomeKit capable. Works great

These are great when they work, but good luck getting them to work. I have to continually restart my Wi-Fi in order to get them to work. I initially thought it was a Wi-Fi issue, but all my other devices that use Wi-Fi work when these don’t.
